About Long hundredweights per hour
The long hundredweight per hour (cwt/h, UK) equals 50.80234544/3600 ≈ 0.014112 kg/s. The long hundredweight (112 lb = 8 stone) was the standard commercial weight in British wholesale trade. It survives in historic UK cement and bulk-aggregate pricing sheets and in some British agricultural markets. 1 long cwt/h ≈ 0.014112 kg/s = 112 lb/h.
About Short tons per second
The short ton per second (ton/s, US) equals 907.18474 kg/s, used for the very highest industrial and military throughput rates. The Space Shuttle Main Engine consumed propellant at ≈480 kg/s LOX + 160 kg/s LH2 ≈ 640 kg/s ≈ 0.71 ton/s; a large blast-furnace tap discharges molten iron at 1-3 ton/s. 1 short ton/s = 907.18474 kg/s = 2 000 lb/s.
